Over the summer, the Poisoned Drug Action Table (PDAT) of the Gabriola Health and Wellbeing Collaborative produced an eight – part Sounder series, “Building Hope,” to shine light on the toxic drug crisis. Stories of loss, recovery and resilience were shared by families who lost loved ones, people living with addiction and in recovery, service providers and community organizations.
As we wrap up this series, we invite the community to an “Ask Anything” event. Please join us on September 27th from 1 – 3:30 at the Gabriola Theatre Centre, 1475 Peterson Road, to hear from our regional Medical Health Officer, and individuals who have been directly impacted by this crisis.
This event will provide information on the poisoned drug crisis on a local, provincial, and national level. We will explore the links between trauma and substance use and we will share stories of lived experience to better understand how our community can take action to address to reduce harms, save lives and make our community a better place for all.
This is an opportunity for community members to ask questions in a safe, welcoming space. Questions may be submitted anonymously for those who do not feel comfortable asking directly. We encourage anyone to come who would like to be part of the discussion or simply to understand the toxic drug crisis better.
This initiative is funded by the Community Action Initiative.
